Cary-based analytics leader SAS has been named the Best Place to Work in the Triangle by the readers of The Independent Weekly. INDY Week has been a source of Triangle-area news, arts and entertainment coverage for more than 30 years, and has been recognizing the “Best in the Triangle” for nearly 15 years.

“To be recognized as a Best Place to Work is a privilege, especially when it comes from your own community. It’s testament to our employee-centric culture that positively impacts our customers and our community,” said Jenn Mann, SAS Vice President of Human Resources.

The annual poll issued by The Independent Weekly newspaper invites readers to vote online for the best Triangle business in each of several hundred categories, including Best Place to Work, Best Place to Hear Jazz, Best Pet Sitter and more. More than 7,500 ballots were submitted, with results published in the June 4 edition.

SAS has received overwhelming global recognition for its unique work environment, one that fosters and encourages the integration of the company’s business values with employees’ personal needs.
